Never heard this 'comics code' style before.  A quick google and it
appears to be some form of self censoring, but nothing about the
style...

Checked their website, looks like release date is October, and they
are asking $25 at this time.  Looks awesome!  I really need to go back
and try Wasteland again.

Yes, I put my dollars into the pot once Brian Fargo started that 
campaign on Kickstarter. Looking forward to the release.

Incidentally, I am not sure if you're up with it but InExile are also 
doing a follow-up to Planescape Torment, with several members of the old 
team on the staff already. Releasedate is some time in the foggy future 
though, I think 2014 from memory.

If you haven't tried it yet, you might consider giving Legend of 
Grimrock a trial run (was on GoG iirc) - very old fashioned dungeon 
crawl in the DungeonMaster cast. In my opinion really only good for 2-3 
trial runs and one play-through. Nothing new comes along once you've 
done it and figured out the puzzles, but it's definitely plenty of 
entertainment value for your buck.

I'm oscillating between Fallen Enchantress, Fall from Heaven 2, and 
Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup (latest beta version) a.t.m.  Gods, but I suck 
at genuine roguelikes!
